I am not sure I understand your question.  GCC as an GSoC organization
does not give prospective students any tasks they need to complete
before applying.  However, it is a good idea to at least check out,
build and test the compiler suite before you apply for a project with
us.  See the information at

   https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/SummerOfCode#Before_you_apply

and generally speaking the entire wiki page on GSoC for what to do.
